Conference Tips - Planning

So you've been asked to organise a conference.

It might be your first time or maybe you’ve done it many times before but the reality is, you want it to be a success without creating too much stress.

Conference planning involves:

Goal setting

Venue selection

Budgeting

Conference management

Financial management

Debriefing

Each step is necessary, whether you’re organising a conference for 40, 400 or 4000 people.

The first step in conference planning is to determine its purpose and to write clear, measurable goals. This enables you to create a comprehensive brief which is essential for communicating with your various service providers.
